Next Meeting
Typically, the board meets briefly following the business meeting at each annual reunion. Since it is not anticipated that there will be any association business to discuss, the board does not plan to meet in order to allow more networking and visiting with family.
The next scheduled board meeting will be on October 21, 2007 at 7:00 PM at the home of Ross Livingston.
Meeting ajourned around 9:00.
